    I'd normally post one coherent link, but since...well you've all heard my excuse before.

    More details on SEGA's layoffs, restructuring | GoNintendo - What are YOU waiting for?

    (mass layoffs, and cancelling anything not Sonic, Football Manager, Total War, or Aliens)

    SEGA's full statement on their fiscal results, restructuring | GoNintendo - What are YOU waiting for?

    (Sega "restructuring")


    Personally, I love me some blue hedgehog, but I still want Anarchy Reigns very badly. What do you all make of this?

    Banpresto is making it, not Sega; we won't have to worry about that, at the very least. Whether or not it gets released outside of Japan is another troubling issue though.

    As long as Total War is ok the rest can burn.

    Man, if we don't get PSO2, I'm going to be extremely pissed off.

    PSO2 is out in a couple months (this summer). It's going into betas this month. Granted this is the japanese version but people are reporting it's going to have an english language switch built in...so really no need to wait.

    Also it's free to play, free to download.

    I'm not so sure of that either. Bayonetta is such a hot franchise someone else would buy it off them if they tanked. Granted if it's not being developed by platinum games nobody is going to give a shit, but still...

    After re-reading it looks like this is really more geared to SOA. I'm not sure if this would have little or any impact on SOJ or not.

    You win the award of "Good-news bringer of the day."

    I knew that it was still coming but I didn't realize that the beta was coming so soon.
